Dollar prices in Kiev hotels dropped by 5-20% since January 2015. While prices in hryvnia for 3-5 star hotel rooms rose by 33.1%, US dollar hotel prices today are lower than a year ago due to devaluation of the Ukrainian currency.

I should say Ukraine as a tourist destination is not popular now, that is why the situation with hotels is logical. Although there are a lot of interesting places and things to see in the cities of Ukraine.
